Learners use a ruler to make measurements, and to create triangles and a rectangle. They take the shapes they've made and assemble them into an evergreen tree image. This simple, yet effective, lesson would be ideal for young learners who are just getting to know the ruler. Explicit instructions are given, making this an easy lesson to implement. Great idea!
